In order to enable an iCal export link, your account needs to have a key created. This key enables other applications to access data from within Indico even when you are neither using nor logged into the Indico system yourself with the link provided. Once created, you can manage your key at any time by going to 'My Profile' and looking under the tab entitled 'HTTP API'. Further information about HTTP API keys can be found in the Indico documentation.

I have read and understood the above.

In conjunction with a having a key associated with your account, to have the possibility of exporting private event information necessitates the creation of a persistent key. This new key is also associated with your account and whilst it is active the data which can be obtained through using this key can be obtained by anyone in possession of the link provided. Due to this reason, it is extremely important that you keep links generated with this key private and for your use only. If you think someone else may have acquired access to a link using this key in the future, you must immediately remove it from 'My Profile' under the 'HTTP API' tab and generate a new key before regenerating iCalendar links.

Description

Mathematics is of course considered a science. However it stands a little apart from other sciences in many ways even while it is an all important tool for the natural sciences.This standing apart from other sciences is indeed reflected in the sociology of the scientific community. The mathematician wields little clout in the power structure within the community: this is true the world over, but particularly so in our country. This talk will explore the characteristics of mathematics that sets it apart from the natural sciences at the philosophical level as well as the place of the mathematician in the scientific community.
